Pheromones are intraspecific chemical signals serving as a ubiquitous form of communication, particularly among insects. Female sex-pheromone signals act as the core constituent in the specialized odour-mediated moth mate-recognition system. Female moths typically release multicomponent mixtures of alcohols, aldehydes or acetates. The biosynthetic machinery controlling pheromone production compris

Electron injection from the excited state of the chromophore perylene was time- resolved for different anchor groups on the surface of anatase TiO2. A modulation of the electron transfer rate was ascribed to the motion of a vibrational wavepacket.

Bone marrow resident hematopoietic stem cells differentiate into all different types of lymphoid populations, there among mature naive B cells expressing IgM and IgD. During the maturation, the B cells are subjected to several steps of selection to ensure proper development of the antigen receptor. The mechanisms regulating the selection are to great extent unknown. In paper I of this thesis, we d

This Norm focussing article starts exploring the various influence processes that take place in connection with the dawn of a new theme - the environment and then sustainable development - in today's society. The Swedish society has in the early 1990-ies declared that educational institutions, places designed for the intentional influence, shall utilise the new environmental theme in its practice.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Parkinsons sjukdom är en av de vanligaste neurodegenerativa sjukdomarna och orsakas av en selektiv förlust av dopaminerga neuron i mellanhjärnans substantia nigra (SN). Detta leder till en minskad mängd dopamin (DA) i hjärnans motoriska centrum, striatum, vilket orsakar de karakteristiska symptomen bradykinesi, muskelrigiditet och tremor. Förlusten av DA neuron i SN skeParkinson's disease is characterized by a progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to a loss of dopamine in the target structure striatum and development of motor symptoms, such as bradykinesia, rigidity and tremor. New experimental treatment strategies for Parkinson's disease are aimed at either preventing the degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons, or a

This work presents a fully-functional, microfabricated electrochemical-cantilever hybrid platform with flow control. A new cantilever chip format is designed, fabricated, and mounted in a custom polymer flow cell. Issues such as leakage and optical/electrical access are addressed, and combined mechanical and electrochemical performance is investigated. Lastly, a cantilever is “defunctionalized” in
